Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are growing and they’re growing fast. With more than $5.5 trillion in assets and cash flows exceeding those of mutual funds over the last several years, ETFs have become the dominant investment vehicle of our time.

Now, The Complete Guide to ETF Portfolio Management provides everything you need to know to manage an ETF with the knowledge and skill of a seasoned pro.

As Janus Capital’s first ETF Portfolio Manager, Scott Weiner helped build much of the infrastructure around Index-based ETF Portfolio Management for the global asset management group Janus Henderson. In this comprehensive and insightful guide, Weiner provides:

  • Hands-on, how-to guidance for successfully managing an ETF portfolio
  • A model ETF illustrating key management concepts
  • Clear examples of issues you’ll likely face, including corporate actions, tax management, and cash management
  • Expert insight into advanced topics that capture the nuance of portfolio management
  • Practical advice for managing an ETF in volatile markets

With The Complete Guide to ETF Portfolio Management, you have everything you need to know to launch an ETF, optimize tax efficiency, handle complex corporate actions, close a fund when it’s not raising assets―and everything in between.
